Another Rock Island boy is heard from
one who has already climbed up sever
al rounds on the ladder of success and
fame He is no other than Edward 5.
Kelley, who was on the 18th inst, ap.
pointed division freight agent, by the
c., M. & St. P. road, taking eff
feet on the date mentioned. His office is
to be at Milwaukee, and he will have i'm
mediate supervision of freight traffic on
the following divisions: Chicago and
Milwaukee, Racine and Southwestern in
Wisconsin and Illinois; Chicago and
Council Bluffs in Illinois and Iowa, and
the Kansas City line. Mr.. Keeley's new
duties, it will be seen, will bring him to
Rock Island on occasional official visits.
His office is one of the most important
In the c., NJ. & St. P system. 1t prob
ably covers more territory and reaches
out to more important shipping points
than any of the division freight agents
Keeley's rise in the railroad world illus
trates what worth. studiously applied,
will do for a man who has no influence
to back him-nothiug but his own merit
and industry to send him forward. Kee
ley commenced as a clerk in the freigh
| office of the Rock Island & Peoria, undel
J. V. Mahoney. Then he went into TIT
c., NJ & St. P freight office at Milwau
kee, and next We hear of his advance
ment to one of the company's most re
sponsible positions. Kelley is yet
young man, and his future is certainl
most bright and promising. He has bu
to continue his past career. His parent
live in Rock Island, his father being a
engineer on the Gable branch of the R.
& P. road.

Paullin, Johnson and Fairbairn, and |
Messrs. DUNCAN, Carlyle and Harry
Brown win many encores, while Mount
10Y Walker is not at a loss for opportuni.
ties to strengthen his popularity. The
topical song. Two Lovely Black Eyes,
is the great feature, and its repetition was
demanded last night.
Then hear what the Chicago Herald
saws of 1.-THE Black Hussar" which is to
be presented to the evening audience:
The Chicago presentation of 1.-The
Black Hussar," which had such an enor-
nous success ia New York, was had last
night at the Columbia. 1t is the last and
best of Millocker's efforts: For origin
ality of plot, comicality of situation and
tuneful melody it deserves to rank with
the best of Strauss and Won Suppe's
works, and even Offenbach has not SUR
passed it by anything he did after the
Grand Duchess" From the rise to the
fall of the cnrtain it is a brilliant corrus>
cation of tuneful melodies, while some
of the concerted pieces are worthy of
composers of much greater fame. All in
all it was as fine a performance of light
opera as Chicago has ever witnessed, and
one that will arouse as high degree of
public interest as any production ever
had in this city.
The roller rink will be opened for the
season tomorrow by Manager Bollman.
Marshall & Pane's colored quartette and
Frerkson's band will furnish entertain

The Howard commencement.

The fine results shown at the recent COM
mencement exercises of the Howard School
at the Opera House are an excellent testi-
mouy to the care and ability of Miss Kruse,
the principal Of that school.
The graduating class and the junior
classes also showed au evidence'cf advance
ment which was literally nothing less than
revelation.
One incident is particularly well worth
noticing, namely the defamation by young
Harry spencer.
In the piece called 'Toussaint LOWER
ture," which he gave every evidence was
demonstrated of superior into ligence in the
full literal sense of the term.
Our readers will no doubt remember the
nature of the subject, its touching appeal to
all that ia heroic IN the human breast.
These feelings were aroused with artistic
nerve by the young oratol-for he was moth
ing less-with great personal advantages Of
manner and vocal organs be actually cleo
trfied the audience. The members of the
Board of Education, clergymen and visitors
upon the platform seemed spell bound,
AS he closed, for minute all was still,
when the audience suddenly remembering
itself broke forth into repeated ap, lause.
The writer candidly asserts that in his
opinion no better natural oratorical powers
or better juvenile training b ever been ex-
hibtcd at any commencement in the Grand
Opera House,
